Hubble has seen galaxies at the edge of the visible universe. It has unlocked a cosmos so vast and filled with wonder that it boggles the mind. The Hubble Telescope has learned how galaxies merge, and found the powerful...

In the mid-1800s, mariners sailing the southern seas navigated at night by a brilliant star in the constellation Carina. The star, named Eta Carinae, was the second brightest star in the sky for more than a decade....

After traveling several billion miles toward the Sun, a wayward young comet-like object orbiting among the giant planets has found a temporary parking place along the way.



The object has settled near a...

Though our galaxy is an immense city of at least 200 billion stars, the details of how they formed...

In 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope achieved its 30th year in orbit. Hubble’s unique design, allowing it to be repaired and upgraded with advanced technology by astronauts, has made it one of NASA’s longest-living and...

On April 24, 2019, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 29th year in orbit by premiering a never-before-seen view of the Southern Crab Nebula. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to uncover the mysteries of the...

The universe would be a pretty boring place without stars. Without them, the universe would remain a diffuse plasma of mostly hydrogen and helium from the big bang.

The Hubble Space Telescope has transformed our understanding of the universe, its view from orbit unleashing a flood of cosmic discoveries that have changed astronomy forever. From its discovery of dark energy to its...

In this Hubble image, a super-hot, massive star is blowing an enormous bubble into space. Fittingly named the Bubble Nebula, this beautiful cosmic object is roughly seven light-years across and resides 7,100 light-years from...

This video explains how telescopes can act as time machines, allowing us to see objects in space as they appeared millions of years ago. By measuring distances in light years and understanding the speed of light, scientists can observe...

NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled a spooky new image staring out from the depths of the cosmos. The new image reveals the twin galaxies AM 2026-424 — a pair of interacting galaxies that may foreshadow our Milky...

This sonification of the Hubble Ultra Deep Field (2014) image plays a note for each galaxy when it emitted the light captured in this image. The farther away the galaxy is, the longer its light has traveled before reaching the...

This video is my attempt to help my wife understand the Pillars of Creation. In doing so I show where they are in the Eagle Nebula, define a lightyear, determine how far it is from the Earth to the Sun, demonstrate the speed of sound,...

About 5,000 light-years from Earth, the stunning nebula NGC 2392 formed after the demise of a star like our Sun.



In this sonification, the image is scanned clockwise like a radar. The radius is mapped to pitch, so light...

On April 24, 2020, the Hubble Space Telescope celebrated its 30th year in orbit by premiering a never-before-seen view of two stunning nebulas named NGC 2020 and NGC 2014. Even after all these years, Hubble continues to...

The majestic spiral galaxy NGC 1300’s arms hold blue clusters of young stars, pink clouds of star formation, and dark lanes of dust.



To represent this image with sound, scientists assigned louder volume to brighter light....

In this video, the teacher explains how to multiply numbers expressed in scientific notation. They review the concept of scientific notation and the rules for multiplying exponential expressions with the same base. The teacher provides...
